Kim Kardashian Criticizes ‘Wall Street Journal’ for Ad Denying Armenian Genocide

“Lies make good headlines, good headlines make great covers, great covers sell magazines”, Kardashian-West wrote.

Kardashian hit back at Fact Check Armenia, a group that denies the deaths of 1.5m Armenians in 1915 should be classified as a “genocide“. The ad in question was an ad denying the Armenian genocide.

“For the Wall Street Journal to publish something like this is reckless, upsetting and risky”, Kardashian wrote in the ad.

She wrapped up her letter, paid for by the supporters of the Armenian Educational Foundation, by pushing the importance of having the U.S. government recognize the event as genocide – something President Barack Obama has not done, according to the Associated Press.

In the full-page ad, Kardashian wrote she’s “no strangers to BS in the press” but just couldn’t sit with the newspaper’s decision to publish an ad denying that almost 1.5 million Armenians were murdered from 1915 to 1916 by the Ottoman government.

“My first reaction … she’s right on point”, said one man, while another said: “Media should be careful in what they print, what message they are trying to give society”.

The Kardashian family are of Armenian descent and the issue is something that Kim has been outspoken about in the past.

Kim Kardashian took out a full-page ad in Saturday’s New York Times attacking those who denied the Armenian genocide, an event that claimed the lives of more than a million Armenians. It’s totally morally irresponsible and, most of all, it’s risky.

Last year, Kardashian also called on President Barack Obama in Time to use the word “genocide” in a speech recognizing the 100th anniversary of the killings.

In her letter, Kardashian addresses the paper’s comment directly, writing, “Advocating the denial of a genocide by the country responsible for it-that’s not publishing a ‘provocative viewpoint, ‘ that’s spreading lies”.
